The final hessian matrix is not positive definite, and therefore the estimated covariance matrix is not full rank and may be unreliable. In this application it is important that all elements of the hessian matrix be evaluated accurately. One more important thing, the word hessian also sometimes refers to the determinant of this matrix, instead of to the matrix itself.
